Voltor

Looks like Peregrine 1 is back and there is still 2 as well. Trying to remember, wasn't KW made with more optimized coding to reduce/eliminate lag? If so, perhaps that coding could be applied to a reoptimization of Peregrine.

It seems that the event has caused Peregrine Island to implode, PI 2 is running fine.

Well, that's that. Time to go back to my original plan for the Halloween Event this year: put my feet up. 1596 active badges in the game* 15 Character Archetypes in the game 1 of each dedicated to getting all the badges. All 15 once again STAND COMPLETE!!! *Bug Hunter is a separate trophy, not part of the total.

Well first, congrats to the above for maxing up the badges again. As for me, I brought my main 2 of 15 to 1596 on the first day of the event, then paused to consider my above quoted previous post. I said I think I'll stop, and I thought about it. For a time I was tempted to stop badging on all 15. How long was I tempted? 0.86 seconds, which for me can be an eternity. (pop culture points to those that know where that dialog came from) Took all the reasons I was thinking about not badging any longer, reviewed 'em and threw them out with a vengeance. So, that being said it's time once again.......... 1596 active badges in the game* 15 Character Archetypes in the game 1 of each dedicated to getting all the badges. All 15 once again STAND COMPLETE!!! *Bug Hunter is a separate trophy, not part of the total.

Just finished a DR Q run now that it is WST. The longest TF in the game, pays the most reward merits, many missions in it built via copy/paste............and it only pays 2 Prisms. Seems like Dr Q, and for that matter all the Shadow Shard TFs should pay maybe 4 or 6 prisms?

Instead of new enemies/badges like in the impending Halloween Event, let's keep it simple: when you collect presents for Toymaker badge, Prisms are added to the possible items one can get. Open a present: Get attacked by snowmen get jetpack get snowbeast power get snowball get duplicating gift get snowfall power get Prism get candy cane

Total badges in game will now be 1596......... 😞

In terms of Prism drops they say that the length of the Weekly TF determines the drop of either 1 or 2. Next week, DR Q. is among the weekly TF's. Given the length of that TF one would hope it would drop 4 instead of 2. Same with the other Shadow Shard TF's. Also Halloween is coming. Will wearing a Prism costume let us get Halloween mission tip drops when doing ToT or will we will need to suit up in one of the Temp Power suits that can drop from ToT? Same question applies to fighting the last boss in the Haunted House. Wearing a costume when defeating it earns a badge. Will a Prism costume count or no?

Also light form carriers over to the other forms. So basically Rad Armor suffers the least in terms of crash, but only runs for 60 seconds. Peacebringer light form loses half health and stamina with the crash, but perma charging light form is easily done and can offset the crash Perhaps, Invul, Ninjitsu, Energy Armor, Super Reflex, Electric and Rad could all have 3 minute duration, power crash drains health/stamina to 25%, cannot recover for 60 seconds. Recharge time remains the same?

For PvP the Tier 9 powers revert to their classic mode while in the PvP zones, in PVE they run under the new rules.

I just realized what the power crash on the old Tier 9 powers reminded me of. Activate the power and you get about 3 minutes of power and then crash and likely get defeated.........just like when Ultraman's color timer/warning light stops blinking and goes out.

Best you can do with the other T9's is quasi-perma. I've made builds that get the recharge time down so much that after the crash you have only 60 seconds to wait for recharge to be complete. But that is a dangerous 60 seconds, not unlike the old weakness THOR used to have where if he wasn't holding his hammer for 60 seconds he''d revert to his mortal form.

But perhaps they can try the path system from the VEATS on which Tier 9 armor to choose? Energy Aura T9 drains you endurance when it crashes, so have some blues in your inspiration tray, or else the phasing temp power from patrolling Warburg or from the Stealth pool. Activate them right before the crash so that you can hopefully be intangible long enough to recover. Or else just run 🙂

Best solution that I can think of is to basically copy/paste either strength of will or PB light form, or even Rad armor's Meltdown power into the other Tier 9 powers.

Congratulations! As for me, Voltor is my original hero from Live and Wild Kard is my original villain from Live. They are both at 1591 which is the new total. All 15 have maxed out the badges 5 times over now. Think I'll stop.

I like your ideas, and thanks for reminding me of the ninjitsu set as I knew I was forgetting something. Still, it seems to me that the simplest solution is to basically copy/paste the code/mechanics for either Strength of Will or Peacebringer Lightform into the powers. I just tested the Power Surge power from elect armor on my electric tank's alternate build. Not slotted but does have the 4 accolades to boost health/stamina. Upon power crash, his stamina went to ZERO and health to about 10%. I could make a build so that recharge time is reduced to the point of having only 60 seconds after crash to trigger the power again, but during those 60 seconds you need to pop insps like they are Pez and hope teammates can buff you and heal you. Not worth taking the power.

Warburg.......yeah another example of hostages and stealth being a problem. Now if they just gave you the launch code after you save them then they run away.....

You know the ones, Invul, Elect, Energy, Super Reflexes. Back on live, PB light form was revamped, the crash was mitigated somewhat and you could now make the power perma and have it carry over to your alternate forms. Then there is Willpower: Strength of Will 2 minute duration, 5 minute recharge and recharge cannot be enhanced. Surely, especially now that we have the advanced settings for ITF/Aeon that it is time to look at the Electric, Invul, Energy and S.R Tier 9 armor powers and revamp them to either PB lightform level or else Strength of Will level. These revamped powers wouldn't necessarily be an automatic win but I imagine having them a bit more functional would be nice. For PVP/Arena have the powers revert to their original settings.

Make Sister Solaris able to be teleported after she is rescued. While she's busy talking, someone with TP targets her and tp's her right to the altar. No more having to deal with any stealth powers preventing her from moving and other players can take on the ambush while she finishes talking to the gods. Or else have her able to see through stealth Just a random idea.

Perhaps when the ITF is weekly, Cim could be adjusted to spawn more instances with say......24 people in the zone. 3 teams worth of players. Might help with lag...or not, the new settings and weekly TF might really cause trouble in the zone.

EDIT: rebooted and the tracking meter appeared. Weird. But the question about advanced ITF remains. Are the Cims in that not supposed to count for Legatus?

Back in the day it was fine, but that day has passed. Time to update the Numina TF

Yes they could, have us go to Eden to hunt Dev Earth and Nems

Well I was going to suggest that too, but that always seems an unpopular idea. However, they COULD however COMPRESS the Cot, Clockwork, Skulls and Vahzilok street sweeps into one giant sweep of Perez Park.

Perhaps it is time to make a tiny adjustment to the Numina TF so that when you defeat Jurassik you get the badge The Solution that you would get if you defeated him in Crey's Folly ? Might give more incentive for people to run the TF for their new alts.
